Using two news stories for coverage of issue only.
Israel is understandably concerned by Obama's current path. Willing to meet with Iran, not holding a strong line against the ever more likely threat of a nuclear armed Iran, and the word is Obama wants a Palestinian State and quickly despite concerns by Israel.
I'm betting they attack by July.

Israel stands ready to bomb Iran's nuclear sites - Times OnlineThe Israeli military is preparing itself to launch a massive aerial assault on Iran's nuclear facilities within days of being given the go-ahead by its new government.
Among the steps taken to ready Israeli forces for what would be a risky raid requiring pinpoint aerial strikes are the acquisition of three Airborne Warning and Control (AWAC) aircraft and regional missions to simulate the attack.
Two nationwide civil defence drills will help to prepare the public for the retaliation that Israel could face.
“Israel wants to know that if its forces were given the green light they could strike at Iran in a matter of days, even hours. They are making preparations on every level for this eventuality. The message to Iran is that the threat is not just words,” one senior defence official told The Times.
